Brussels Sprouts with Bacon Recipe

by katerina on March 5, 2008

Brussels Sprouts are always welcome in our house, even outside of Thanksgiving. Not having had them growing up I am likely in the minority but I love them and can’t get enough. This recipe is great for someone who is skeptical about Brussels Sprouts, because really adding bacon makes everything good right?

Brown bacon in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Remove bacon, drain and set aside. Add shallots to the pan and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add Brussels Sprouts and stir to coat in oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook Brussels sprouts 2 to 3 minutes to begin to soften, then add broth. Bring broth to a simmer, cover and reduce heat to medium low. Cook 10 minutes, until tender. Transfer sprouts to a serving dish and top with cooked bacon bits.
